Updating Question

[BRM]

Sounds good. So long as the installer can handle it I'm fine. I just don't want to have to necessarily be re-downloading installers or the packages all the time if only one small portion updates. I could understand when working with just one tool (e.g. TortoiseSVN), but when working with many tools (e.g. KDE4, GnuWin32) it just doesn't work very well unless you are making major changes and need to reinstall anyway.

Any how...

Thanks.

Ben

I am considering installing it on my WinXP SP3 laptop at work because I really like KDE4 and want to be able to use it every day.

yes

simply download

once and run it.

For updates run the installer from time to time. It will show you if 
there are installer and/or package updates available.
